The Marvel Cinematic Universe is going strong all these years later, with a steady release schedule of movies and other content available with a Disney+ subscription<\/a>. Fans who spent years watching the Marvel movies in order <\/a>were thrilled when the Fantastic Four finally got to join the fray with First Steps, with that quartet of heroes already set to appear in upcoming Marvel movies <\/a>like Avengers: Doomsday. In their debut movie they battled the cosmic villain Galactus, and a new look at the character without his signature helmet is arguably more scary than what we got in the final cut.<\/p>\n Fantastic Four: First Steps won at the box office<\/a>, and brought the behemoth character Galactus to the shared universe. He was brought to life by actor Ralph Ineson, who worked with a set of miniatures to make him look giant. He looked pretty comic book accurate, but an image from The Fantastic Four: First Steps \u2013 The Art of the Movie<\/a> (via Twitter<\/a>) without the full mask is creepy AF. Check it out below:<\/p>\n I don’t know about you, but this would have given me the willies on the big screen. Ultimately Galactus’ helmet was left on throughout Fantastic Four: First Steps, although he had a particularly chilling moment where his glowing eyes suddenly turned on in front of the titular team of heroes. But I assume I’m not alone in being startled by his appearance sans helmet.<\/p>\n Disney+: <\/strong>from $11.99 a month w\/ ad-supported plan<\/strong><\/a> The Fantastic Four and its villains like Galactus were noticeably missing throughout the first few phases of the MCU, but when Disney acquired 20th Century Fox<\/a> and its properties it opened the door for Marvel’s First Family to finally join the fun. It seems like the studio is welcoming them in a big way, because they were confirmed as part of the Avengers: Doomsday cast announcement<\/a>. They’re already getting the crossover treatment, and it should be fascinating to see how they interact with other universes.<\/p>\n The end of First Steps saw the team defeat Galactus, but fans are still wondering if he could pop up again. He’s a huge character in the comics, and has never really gotten its fair share on the screen. If Ineson does reprise his role, maybe we’ll get a chance to see the unmasked version of the cosmic bad guy.<\/p>\n Credit: Marvel<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/15ba8756944d6d1627e24de271b1e544.jpeg\"\/)
